This reading is very pleasant to listen to. I'm not a native English speaker, I'm trying to improve my oral comprehension and find it clear and understandable (ok, I'm not beginner level either). This is a good choice for whoever likes Jane Austen.

I listened to this in the car, and found it very enjoyable. The novel is supposed to be one of Austen's best. The recording is high quality. The reader sounds American to me, but I soon got used to the accent. The way she did different voices and mannerisms for the characters was very good - not overdone, and I found it helpful. Even when reading the book I was unsure who was talking when. Thanks to Sibella Denton and the other LibriVox volunteers for reading and making my commute enjoyable!
